Oslo Metropolitan University (Oslomet; Norwegian: Oslomet – storbyuniversitetet)[1][2] is a state university in Oslo and Kjeller in Norway. It is the result of the merger of many former vocational colleges in the Greater Oslo Region. It has around 1,400 academic employees (of which over 150 are professors/research professors, the top rank in Norway), around 20,000 students and around 800 administrative support staff.[3]
Oslo Metropolitan University was established on 12 January 2018 and is the second youngest of Norway's new universities. It evolved from what was until 2018 Norway's largest university college, Oslo and Akershus University College, which was itself the result of many previous mergers of around 30 former vocational colleges and community colleges in the Oslo area.
Most of the university is located in the city centre of Oslo along the Pilestredet street, with subsidiary campuses in Kjeller in Akershus. The rector of the university is Christen Krogh.
